It does clarify, it just seems like there could be a feature in JAWS to disable a keystroke for a particular application, without having to write a script, so that it wouldn't conflict with the application. Thanks again for your assistance. I'll let you know if I have any additional questions. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie McBride Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2015 4:15 PM To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Learning More About Scripting and modifying a keystroke for a specific application I wouldn't be quite that categorical. What you say is correct if the app contains no way to re-map its keyboard assignments, but often pieces of software do have that facility. If the software you're using does, then that's obviously the way to go. If not, then what I showed you is a workaround. BTW, there are other ways to do this, i.e., autoHotkey, AutoIt, etc., as well as via the Jaws scripting language. Does that clarify?
